颗粒粒径对油页岩热解产油率的影响

以桦甸油页岩为原料研究了颗粒粒径对油页岩热解产油率的影响。将油页岩破碎、筛分得到<0.074、0.074~0.125、0.125~0.25、0.25~0.5、0.5~1和1~3 mm不同粒级样品,再将0.25~0.5、0.5~1和1~3 mm大粒级样品粉碎制得对应的细粉样品,采用低温干馏法和热重分析分别测定表征样品的油产率和有机质含量。结果表明,油产率随着粒径减小逐渐降低,从1~3 mm下的11.92%降到<0.074 mm下的6.14%。热重分析表明,有机质含量随着粒径降低而降低,且油产率与有机质含量有明显的线性关系。0.25~0.5、0.5~1和1~3 mm样品经粉碎后油产率降低、气产率升高,但变化值均小于1%。在破碎过程中有机质选择性地富集在大粒级样品中,且页岩油二次反应程度随着粒径的减小而增大,使得页岩油产率随着粒径的降低而降低,且有机质选择性富集是主导因素。     

Influence of particle size and kinetic parameters on tire pyrolysis

One of the most important parameters that can significantly affect the cost of the tire pyrolysis process is the time needed for thermal decomposition of the tire material. In this work, the influence of particle size and kinetics of thermal decomposition on the pyrolysis time was studied. The apparent kinetic parameters of tire thermal decomposition were estimated using three different approaches based on thermogravimetry measurements. In separate experiments, tire particles with different sizes were pyrolyzed under isothermal conditions in a laboratory flow reactor at different residence times of the particles in the reactor and the data recorded were employed in the determination of tire conversion during the thermal decomposition. A mathematical model of tire pyrolysis considering heat conduction in the tire particles was developed. All three types of estimated kinetic parameters were used to determine the conversion behavior at isothermal conditions and the results were compared with experimental data obtained. The model was used also to calculate the pyrolysis time in an industrial scale reactor at different temperatures and particle sizes.     

生物质焦制备条件对其燃烧反应特性的影响

在热重分析仪上,研究了生物质焦的制备条件对其燃烧反应特性的影响。生物质焦由闪速裂解技术制得,裂解温度为 748 K、773 K和823 K;原料含水质量分数为0、7.0%和11.3%。研究发现,生物质焦中挥发性物质的质量分数和H/C质量比随裂解温度的增加而降低,其燃烧反应性随裂解温度的增加而降低;与高裂解温度条件下制得的生物质焦相比,低裂解温度条件下制得的生物质焦具有较高的反应活化能和对燃烧温度更敏感。原料含水量对生物质焦的燃烧反应特性影响很小;但对高裂解温度条件下制得的生物质焦中的挥发性组分含量有较大的影响。简化的生物质焦本征燃烧反应幂函数动力学模型可以很好地描述其燃烧行为。     

升温速率对神木煤热解半焦结构性能的影响

利用管式炉和微波材料工作站分别对神木煤煤样进行终温为750 ℃的慢速(3和5 ℃/min)、中速(10和15 ℃/min)及快速(50、100、225、350和750 ℃/min)热解,基于热解半焦X射线衍射谱图解析热解半焦的微晶结构参数,采用傅里叶变换红外光谱表征热解半焦的表面化学,并借助热重分析仪、选用气化活性参数R_T评价热解半焦的气化反应活性。结果表明,随着升温速率的增大,神木煤热解半焦总体上呈现的趋势是:表面含氧官能团含量降低,半焦的微晶层片尺寸L_a和石墨化度明显提高,层间距d₀₀₂和堆积高度L_c略微减小,说明神木煤半焦结构随升温速率的提高变得规整;随着升温速率的增大,半焦的气化活性R_T从0.178 2降低至0.103 6。热解终温为750 ℃的神木煤热解过程中,快速热解有利于获得易石墨化、表面非极性化、气化反应性低的产物。     

Sorption of arsenic, cadmium, and lead by chars produced from fast pyrolysis of wood and bark during bio-oil production

Bio-char by-products from fast wood/bark pyrolyses, were investigated as adsorbents for the removal of the toxic metals (As(3+), Cd(2+), Pb(2+)) from water. Oak bark, pine bark, oak wood, and pine wood chars were obtained from fast pyrolysis at 400 and 450 degrees C in an auger-fed reactor and characterized. A commercial activated carbon was also investigated for comparison. Chars were sieved (>600, 600-250, 250-177, 177-149, and <149 microm) and the particle size fraction from 600 to 250 microm was used without further modification for all studies unless otherwise stated. Sorption studies were performed at different temperatures, pHs, and solid to liquid ratios in the batch mode. Maximum adsorption occurred over a pH range 3-4 for arsenic and 4-5 for lead and cadmium. Kinetic studies yielded an optimum equilibrium time of 24 h with an adsorbent dose of 10 g/L and concentration approximately 100 mg/L for lead and cadmium. Sorption isotherms studies were conducted in broad concentration ranges (1-1000 ppb for arsenic, 1x10(-5)-5x10(-3) M for lead and cadmium). Oak bark out-performed the other chars and nearly mimicked Calgon F-400 adsorption for lead and cadmium. In an aqueous lead solution with initial concentration of 4.8x10(-4) M, both oak bark and Calgon F-400 (10 g/L) removed nearly 100% of the heavy metal. Oak bark (10 g/L) also removed about 70% of arsenic and 50% of cadmium from aqueous solutions. Varying temperatures (e.g., 5, 25, and 40 degrees C) were used to determine the effect of temperatures. The equilibrium data were modeled with the help of Langmuir and Freundlich equations. Overall, the data are well fitted with both the models, with a slight advantage for Langmuir model. The oak bark char's ability to remove Pb(II) and Cd(II) is remarkable when considered in terms of the amount of metal adsorbed per unit surface area (0.5157 mg/m(2) for Pb(II) and 0.213 mg/m(2) for Cd(II) versus that of commercial activated carbon.     

Insights on structural characteristic of Xilinguole lignite chars from low-temperature pyrolysis

The cleavage behavior of covalent bonds in Xilinguole (XLGL) lignite and changes in chemical structure of lignite and its chars during low-temperature pyrolysis were investigated by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Based on the TG and differential thermogravimetric (DTG) analysis results, the cleavage of different types of chemical bonds in lignite occurred mainly at four certain temperatures, 170 °C, 376 °C, 432 °C, and 521 °C. The latter three were selected as the final pyrolysis temperatures of chars evaluated in this study. The FTIR analysis results indicate that thermal treatment increased the relative content of two and three adjacent H deformation structures but decreased that of four adjacent H deformation structure. This was caused by the cleavage of C_al–C_al and C_ar–C_al bonds. The oxygen-containing functional groups in lignite are dominated by C–O and C–OH groups with a lower chemical reactivity than C=O–C and conjugated C=O groups. Moreover, XLGL lignite has the highest ratio of CH₂/CH₃ which declines with increasing temperature, indicating the decrease in the length of aliphatic chains and increase in the degree of branching of aliphatic side chains. This change mainly resulted from the cleavage of C_al–O, C_al–C_al, and C_ar–C_al bonds. Furthermore, XLGL lignite and its chars contain five specific hydrogen bonds: OH–N, cyclic OH, OH–ether O, OH–OH, and OH–π hydrogen bonds. The relative content of OH–OH hydrogen bond was the highest, indicating that OH–OH hydrogen bond has the highest thermal stability.

     

Effect of particle size on pyrolysis characteristics of Elbistan lignite

In this study, the relationship between particle size and pyrolysis characteristics of Elbistan lignite was examined by using the thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. Lignite samples were separated into different size fractions. Experiments were conducted at non-isothermal conditions with a heating rate of 10°C min⁻¹ under nitrogen atmosphere up to 900°C. Pyrolysis regions, maximum pyrolysis rates and characteristic peak temperatures were determined from TG/DTG curves. Thermogravimetric data were analyzed by a reaction rate model assuming first-order kinetics. Apparent activation energy (E) and Arrhenius constant (A _r) of pyrolysis reaction of each particle size fraction were evaluated by applying Arrhenius kinetic model. The apparent activation energies in the essential pyrolysis region were calculated as 27.36 and 28.81 kJ mol⁻¹ for the largest (−2360+2000 μm) and finest (−38 μm) particle sizes, respectively.     

Influence of the synthesis conditions on the particle size and morphology of yttrium orthoferrite obtained from aqueous solutions

The size and morphology of yttrium orthoferrite nanoparticles were examined in relation to the synthesis conditions. The chemical composition of the crystalline phases resulted from heat treatment of the samples at 650°C varies with the procedure of coprecipitation of yttrium and iron(III) hydroxides. At the same time, heat treatment at 750°C leads to formation of yttrium orthoferrite solely. The size of the YFeO₃ crystals is weakly dependent on the initial composition preparation procedure, and the size and shape of their agglomerates are sensitive to the conditions of coprecipitation of the hydroxides.     

钾和一氧化碳对松木屑快速热解半焦特性的影响

利用固定床反应器、红外光谱仪、吸附仪、X射线衍射仪、电感耦合等离子原子发射光谱仪、偏光显微镜等对比研究了原生生物质(原生物质)及水洗脱钾生物质(脱钾生物质)在N_2及富一氧化碳(CO)气氛下所得半焦的产率、官能团及其他物化结构的变化规律。研究表明,与脱钾生物质相比,热解温度低于750℃时,原生物质的半焦产率降低、比表面积增大、芳环结构减少而烷基、脂肪族结构等增加;与N_2相比,富CO气氛下所得半焦产率降低、比表面积增大,芳香结构、脂肪族结构、烷基减小。而热解温度高于750℃时,生物质中的钾和热解气氛中的CO均使生物质半焦产率增加、官能团数量和比表面积减少。利用偏光显微镜对生物质半焦表面矿物质的研究表明,热解温度低于750℃时,所得半焦表面矿物组分较少且高度分散;热解温度高于750℃时,所得半焦表面矿物组分较多,分布密集且熔融团聚现象随温度升高而增多。而对于半焦石墨化程度的研究表明,半焦石墨化程度随温度升高而增加,但低热解温度所得半焦的石墨化程度较差。温度高于750℃时,CO气氛使石墨化程度增加,而钾使石墨化程度降低。     

热解压力对生物质焦结构及气化反应性能的影响

利用加压固定床反应器、吸附仪、X射线衍射仪、元素分析仪、电感耦合等离子原子发射光谱仪等考察了热解压力对生物质半焦(以下简称半焦)产率、物化结构、元素组成的影响规律。同时,利用热天平对不同热解压力下所制半焦的气化行为进行了考察。结果表明,随热解压力升高,半焦产率增大,当压力升至1.0 MPa后,半焦产率基本不变;半焦中C元素含量随热解压力的升高而增加,而H元素含量和BET比表面积则减小;此外,随热解压力升高,玉米秸秆焦和锯末焦的石墨化程度增强,而稻壳焦的石墨化程度则基本不受热解压力影响。气化反应的研究表明,玉米秸秆焦及锯末焦的平均气化反应速率随热解压力的提高而减小,而稻壳焦的平均气化反应速率基本不受热解压力的影响。热解压力对半焦BET比表面积及碳微晶结构的影响规律与气化反应速率变化规律的对比研究表明,热解压力引起半焦微晶结构的变化是造成热解压力对半焦气化反应速率影响的主要原因。     

Evaluation of the porous structure development of chars from pyrolysis of rice straw: Effects of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate

The effects of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate on the porous structure characteristics of rice straw chars were investigated. The pyrolysis was done at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000 °C under low heating rate (LHR) and high heating rates (HHR) conditions. The chars were characterized by ultimate analysis, field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), helium density measurement and N₂ physisorption method. The results showed that temperature had obvious influence on the char porous characteristics. The char yield decreased by approximately 16% with increasing temperature from 600 to 1000 °C. The carbon structure shrinkage and pore narrowing occurred above 600 °C. The shrinkage of carbon skeleton increased by more than 22% with temperatures rising from 600 to 1000 °C. At HHR condition, progressive increases in porosity development with increasing pyrolysis temperature occurred, whereas a maximum porosity development appeared at 900 °C. The total surface area (S_total) and micropore surface area (S_micro) reached maximum values of 30.94 and 21.81 m²/g at 900 °C and decreased slightly at higher temperatures. The influence of heating rate on S_total and S_micro was less significant than that of pyrolysis temperature. The pore surface fractal dimension and average pore diameter showed a good linear relationship.     

Influence of secondary preparative parameters and aging effects on PLGA particle size distribution: a sedimentation field flow fractionation investigation

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) particles in the 200–400-nm size range were formulated through nanoprecipitation and solvent evaporation methods. Different concentrations of the polymer and stabilizer (Pluronic® F 68) were tested in order to identify the best conditions for making poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) particles of suitable size, stable in time, and to be used as carriers for brain-targeting drugs. The particles with the best characteristics for delivery system design were those formulated by nanoprecipitation with an organic/water phase ratio of 2:30, a polymer concentration of 25 mg/mL, and a surfactant concentration of 0.83 mg/mL; their surface charge was reasonably negative (approximately -27 mV) and the average size of the almost monodisperse population was roughly 250 nm. Particle characterization was obtained through ζ-potential measurements, scanning electron microscope observations, and particle size distribution determinations; the latter achieved by both photon-correlation spectroscopy and sedimentation field flow fractionation. Sedimentation field flow fractionation, which is considered more reliable than photon-correlation spectroscopy in describing the possible particle size distribution modifications, was used to investigate the effects of 3 months of storage at 4 °C had on the lyophilized particles.

Influence of SDS on particle size and adhesion of precipitating calcium carbonate

The effect of different amounts of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and time of their addition to the system on the properties of calcium carbonate precipitated from aqueous solutions of CaCl₂ and Na₂CO₃ were studied. From statistical evaluation it was found that average number of the particles deposited on glass surface and, average and total surface area they occupy depend on the amount of the surfactant and time of its addition. Only if the surfactant was added to the system just after the CaCl₂ and Na₂CO₃ solutions mixing up, a decrease of these parameters took place, the greatest in the presence of 0.42 μmol of SDS. On the contrary, if SDS solution was added after 3 min, it caused an increase of the average and total surface area occupied by the CaCO₃ particles, while the average number of particles changed only within standard deviation. From the obtained results it may be concluded that SDS can affect both nucleation and crystal growth of CaCO₃, but its nature depends on the surfactant amount and time of its addition to the system.     

Dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide: Influence of helium concentration on particle size and particle size distribution

Dispersion polymerizations of methyl methacrylate utilizing poly(1,1,-dihydroperfluorooctyl acrylate) as a steric stabilizer in supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂) were carried out in the presence of helium. Particle size and particle size distribution were found to be dependent on the amount of inert helium present. Particle sizes ranging from 1.64 to 2.66 μm were obtained with various amounts of helium. Solvatochromic investigations using 9-(α-perfluoroheptyl-β,β-dicyanovinyl)julolidine indicated that the solvent strength of CO₂ decreases with increasing helium concentration. This effect was confirmed by calculations of Hildebrand solubility parameters. Dispersion polymerization results indicate that PMMA particle size can be attenuated by the amount of helium present in supercritical CO₂. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Insights into information contained in multiplicative scatter correction parameters and the potential for estimating particle size from these parameters

This paper investigates the nature of information contained in scatter correction parameters. The study had two objectives. The first objective was to examine the nature and extent of information contained in scatter correction parameters. The second objective is to examine whether this information can be effectively extracted by proposing a method to obtain particularly the mean particle diameter from the scatter correction parameters. By using a combination of experimental data and simulated data generated using fundamental light propagation theory, a deeper and more fundamental insight of what information is removed by the multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) method is obtained. It was found that the MSC parameters are strongly influenced not only by particle size but also by particle concentration as well as refractive index of the medium. The possibility of extracting particle size information in addition to particle concentration was considered by proposing a two-step method which was tested using a 2-component and 4-component data set. This method can in principle, be used in conjunction with any scatter correction technique provided that the scatter correction parameters exhibit a systematic dependence with respect to particle size and concentration. It was found that the approach which uses the MSC parameters gave a better estimate of the particle diameter compared to using partial least squares (PLS) regression for the 2-component data. For the 4 component data it was found that PLS regression gave better results but further examination indicated this was due to chance correlations of the particle diameter with the two of the absorbing species in the mixture.     

Influence of particle size and particle loading on mechanical and dielectric properties of biochar particulate-reinforced polymer nanocomposites

This research work emphasizes using pulverized biochar obtained by the pyrolysis of rice husk as a particulate reinforcement in unsaturated polyester matrix. The influence of particle size and particle loading on the mechanical and dielectric properties of particulate composites were investigated. The mean size of particles obtained through pulverizing using ball mill varied from 510 to 45 nm when milled for a duration ranging from 6 to 30 h. The particle loading in the composite varied from 0.5 to 2.5 wt%. The impact strength of the specimen having particle loading of 2.5 wt% with 45 nm particle size increased by 77.50%, and its dielectric constant increased by 7% when compared to that of cured pure resin; however, the tensile strength decreased. The biochar particles were subjected to X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis for characterization. Morphological studies were performed on tested samples by scanning electron microscope.     

Influence of synthetic parameters on the size, structure, and stability of dodecanethiol-stabilized silver nanoparticles

Metal nanoparticles (NP) are very attractive because of their size- and shape-dependent properties. A widely used preparation of ligand-stabilized metal NP is the two-phase liquid-liquid method using dodecanethiol (DT) as ligand. This work presents various procedures to synthesize dodecanethiol-capped silver NPs, all of them based on a two-phase liquid-liquid method. Small alterations in the synthetic parameters lead to dramatic modifications in the nanoparticles' average size, size distribution width, stability, and structure, as well as in their ability to self-assemble.     

The effects of sample preparation,pyrolysis and pyrolyzate transfer conditions on pyrolysis mass spectra

Two different biopolymers, bovine serum albumin and glycogen, were examined by pyrolysis-mass spectrometry under various experimental conditions. The parameters tested include the method of cleaning the pyrolysis wire, the choice of the sample solvent, the sample size, the temperature-time profile and the temperature of the mass spectrometric inlet system.In order to determine quantitatively the effects of changes in experimental conditions on reproducibility of the spectra, the differences observed between the pyrolysis mass spectra represented as numerical dissimilarity values.It is concluded that the long-term differences observed are only partly explained by fluctuations in the conditions studied. However, it appears feasible to define a set of standard conditions with respect to the production of the pyrolyzate which should afford a reasonable degree of interlaboratory reproducibility.     

Effects of pyrolysis temperatures on the textural,magnetic, morphology,and catalytic properties of supported nickel nanoparticles

The development of base metal catalysts for industrially important reactions continues to be an important goal of catalysis research. Herein, the effects of pyrolysis temperature on the textural, structural, surface, magnetics properties and catalytic properties of silica-supported nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) were thoroughly investigated. Mono-dispersed NiNPs encapsulated in graphitic shells were first successfully obtained and were characterized using a variety of methods such as BET surface area measurement, CO-pulse chemisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurement. The findings showed that all catalysts’ properties were considerably altered with change in pyrolysis temperature. Hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene was then selected as the model reaction for the evaluation of the catalytic performance of the graphitic-shelled NiNPs. After testing, pyrolysis of a nickel at 800 °C (catalyst A) displayed tremendous activity and selectivity to produce >94% of stilbene with selectivities of 99% for the Z-isomer.
